Hello, I am a wedding photographer with a specific love and passion for Reportage and Photojournalistic wedding photography.
My own personal style is one that allows the clients to enjoy their special day in a care free atmosphere, not having to worry about where the photographer is going to place you next, and what he/she wants you to do, smile or be serious? Of course now and then during the day, I may ask for a specific shot to be arranged, and of course there’s the formal, and all important group shots that if required, will be happily and quickly orchestrated.
The best images are those of a completely natural and unorchestrated quality. I do not use flash photography unless absolutely required, for the following reasons; the last thing you or your guests need is a flood light going off every 5 seconds, I much prefer to rely on natural lighting, and environmental light (any light that is available wherever I am working at the time), SLR camera technology these days allow me to shoot in very low light conditions, and still be able to capture very clearly the required image. On my front page slide show, and gallery page, you will see a couple’s first dance which was taken in near pitch black conditions.
My job is to capture those images in the height of their emotion, and emotion comes in all forms, whether it be a loving smile, or a tearful glance, I will always be in the right place at the right time to make sure that special moment is documented and never forgotten.
My work plan, is to document your day from the early morning preparations to, and including the first dance. You have your own schedule to think, and possibly worry about. All you need to know about me, is that I will be there when it matters, and at the moments when you least expect, until you see the pictures.
Many photographers these days insist on being in control of the bride and groom, and place them here and there and everywhere, perhaps not thinking of their own schedule, and the fact that even though this day may be the happiest day of their lives, it can still be stressful at times, and the last thing they need is a bossy photographer telling them what to do throughout the day.
I would be happy for you to allow me to document, and tell the story of your special day.
Sincerely, J.
